Avatar gets pulled by invisible force

[KaOrIn92]

Hi,

i have a little problem with my Avatar.

after teleporting to some random place i sometimes get pulled by something.

when that happens i fly about 3m above ground and i can't do anything about it.

or when i teleport back to my own land i get pulled to some point and can't move away .

would be great if someone knows the reason for that and can help.

thanks

Tell us where, and someone will probably go and try it.

Some busy sims have something to move you off the arrival point to prevent traffic jams.

Is there some big invisible object where you're landing?

after some testing it looks like it's a problem with my avatar.

but i have no idea what it could be .

was told it could be something with my scripts.

Right. I went to see, and it didn't affect me. It didn't affect her in a different avatar. We went to a store landing point where that was happening. That sim has no experiences. Nothing unusual at the arrival point. She turned off RLV, and that didn't help. Somewhere she may have acquired a script that keeps bouncing her into fly mode. At the store, she TPs in, appears at the proper TP arrival point, and zooms up about 150m.

She has a very graceful flying animation, not a common one, so it might be an AO which is confused about when to fly. Or a griefing object. Anyone recognize this situation?

As someone who has experienced that kind of "tugging," it looks as if something has grabbed the OP's collar's leash. If the OP is not using RLV nor wearing some sort of leashing attachment, then I do not know. Some collars or control implants have a "follow" mode which acts like a leash animation except it does not draw chains or leashes. Again, though, if the OP is not wearing anything of that sort I cannot explain the motion.

Nobody else around, RLV off. Not a leash-type move. Flying. It's like something set the hover height to some huge value.

I know this can be done by a scripted object because I used one for Halloween: walk to within the pulling distance (I had mine set to 10 meters around a coffin) and the script can pull you toward it. It's not a push, so it does not require RLV; it works on any avatar and even on Linden Homes land, which has pushing turned off at the region level.

NOW... with that said, and based on your description, it would *seem* that is what's going on. Except the puller object must be attached to you somehow, or... or... something.

I'll not make any suggestion as to what it is, or how you could fix it. But I will say that if this were me, this is how I'd troubleshoot this issue:

Change into one of the freebie Linden avatars that are available - it doesn't matter which, any will do. By doing this, you are completely removing everything from yourself, even the shape you are wearing. What you will have is a sterile, shiny new avatar with nothing at all sneaking onto you. Then go back to the places where this has happened. If it doesn't;t happen, then slowly switch back to my everyday avatar, starting with the shape and skin and the rest, but not the mesh body... yet. No other attachments.

Try again. Still good to go? Now add mesh body and head and something simple (bikini, maybe?) - try again.

This way - I would learn if the problem is the places I had visited or if it was something on my avatar that was causing it. By checking after each attachment or few then I may be able to find out what's causing it.

Do you have movelock enabled in Firestorm?

[KaOrIn92]

Yay! I had a sneaky suspicion about that (because that script function doesn't need RLV LOL)
